You can go thru Costco or Sams club if youre a member. Saves you the $35 fee and you can earn up to a $100 gift card for upgrading.

Seems like Simple Choice does qualify and gets you up to $500 trade in value.
Unfortunately t mobile charges $30 extra on phones (apple sells ip16 for 800 and t mobile for 830.
T mobile also asked for $35 connection charge.
This extra $65 surcharge makes it less appealing ā˜¹ļø

Add a MaxUp add on to Magenta to a line ($15/month) and it will qualify you for the $830 promo
If I am upgrading 3 lines, Do I have to add MaxUp for each line?
Also if removed later, would it void or cancel the monthly bill credits?

Placed the order on Saturday over the phone with TM Costco.

UPS just delivered my 3 upgrades.

All of them being iPhone pro Max 512GB in Titanium Black.

Down payment for the 512gb model was $199 compared to the 256gb model which was $99

Traded 3 iPhone 12 Pro maxes

Never thought TM would be hooking up magenta max without upgrading to one of there newer plans.

Thanks TM, the OP and to the person who suggested calling as I was nowhere near a Costco.

What is the costco gift card rebate value for legacy plans? I'm on an older plan and was planning to upgrade an 11. The cash card would cover something towards the phone.

24*15=$360
$830-500=$330

Why pay $360 to get back an additional $330 in bill credits?

Anyone have issues entering IMEI during trade in on TMobile site? If so, is there a fix other than calling?

did it actually ship? or just a creation of a shipping label? ordered on Sat afternoon - got tracking number on the 16th and UPS is still waiting for the package.

Mine was similar situation. Label creating 11:15 pm 2/16. Tracking hasnt been updating since then. My 16 pro just got delivered a hour ago. So wonder if something is going on with UPS tracking lately.

Also upgraded via Costo route and received the similar msg like your. Question, it stated the trade-in value of $40 instead of the promotion credit of $500. Do i need to concern?

my cousin did it via Tmobile site, and from his account, the upgrade listed as $500 promotion credit for 24 months instead of $40 one-time trade in credit.

Does anybody have luck upgrading their plan from lets say, Magenta to Go5GPlus and still keep your Covid-era promos (like 20% off, free lines).

Reason for me asking this is - I have 5 lines to upgrade and it might be worth it overall to move to Go5GPlus, pay the difference in monthly bill, and get 830off per line for trading-in my existing phones. All of this hinges on T-mo being able to move my benefits to Go5GPlus plan.

That's how the trade in works until they received your trade. I mailed my trade in on Monday and the line I traded in shows the monthly credits already. The initial trade in value comes off your 1st bill (it doesn't go into the credit).

there should be no reason to be concerned, the $40 is a one time bill credit. (they considered our trade in to be worth $40)

so it goes: $500 - $40 = $460
$460 will be divided into 24 bill credits. so we will get $19.16 in monthly bill credits for 24 months

iPhone 16E released! Wonder if this deal will work on the new phone --
For reference - this deal works on iPhone 14 (to be discontinued) -- T-mobile price is $629
iPhone 16E Starts at $599 from Apple... so maybe could be available for the 16E? Who knows when T-mobile will have stock though

I'm about to pull the trigger on this deal but something is off. I have a 13 pro max trade in. It says I'll get $830 for it. But when you start the check out process you only see the base $250 credit mentioned. Waiting for live chat to be available.
Same here. Only getting $250 off.

You're probably referencing the $250 amount that they consider your phone to be worth but they'll credit you $580 through 24 months to total $830.

The phones are locked for 2 years. You can't pay them off early either or the bill credits end and you'll be forced to pay the rest of the full price of the phone. So you won't be able to use another country's sim until your 2 years is up
